Pros

Espouses terrific values High levels of integrity with customers and consumers Support for community Sustainability

Cons

What once was a great culture is now changing due to restructurings, job eliminations, expense containment, etc. Employees who are "left behind" to pick up the pieces are beginning to leave and more will go after meager incentive checks in the summer.

Great people, okay schedule, some perks and benefits were okay.

Manufacturing, so always wanting more with less. Hard to please as they are constantly changing everything.
